The Physics Department at the University of Oregon invites applications for a tenure track faculty position in experimental biophysics, or soft condensed matter physics with biophysical connections, to begin in the 2014-2015 academic year. The search is directed at the Assistant Professor level but we will consider more senior candidates in exceptional circumstances.

Applicants must have a Ph. D. or equivalent in physics or a related discipline and an outstanding record of research accomplishments. The successful candidate will be expected to teach effectively at the undergraduate and graduate levels and to conduct a vigorous research program. We expect to fill this position at the rank of assistant professor. Salary will be commensurate with qualifications and start-up funds will be available.
